He said that with the specific aim of keeping the general public informed about all the activities and developments in the administration, a separate Facebook account has been opened by the office of the DC and it has been decided to keep the Facebook page updated with latest developments and information. The general public can access information about the DC's office along with photographs at Facebook.com/dcmng, he added.

The DC has requested the people to get maximum benefit out of this initiative. He also said that the members of the public, who want to meet the DC, may call toll free helpline number, 1077, to confirm about his availability in the office. He asked the people to confirm his presence before they visited his office, as he would often be busy attending meetings, functions, video conferences, or outdoor visits.
